Socker

I have an ever growing collection of matchbooks, and this was an insanely affordable item at IKEA that I thought would be perfect for them. But I overestimated how much space they needed, so it’s looking a bit empty. This miniature greenhouse may be put to an entirely different use sometime soon, while I continue the search for the perfect vessel for my matchbook keepsakes.

I didn’t really expect the item to come fully built, but I also got a kick out of constructing something from IKEA on my tabletop instead of the floor. It was the least frustrating IKEA item to build, but I still furrowed my brow too many times while putting it together.

Someday you’ll get a peak at some of my collections, but for now, here’s a top view.
